Although the two of them had killed a few more monsters since leveling up, both Emilia and Crystal were far from reaching level three.
Normally, it would have been the obvious choice to submit the main quest item to the village chief first and gain some experience to level up, and maybe even get some decent items, and only then challenge the [Boar King]. But Emilia knew that this was no longer possible for them.
The moment they submitted the [Tears of Immortal] and completed the quest with the highest possible reward, the experience they get would instantly push them both past level ten, and the monsters within the beginner's zone would then no longer drop experience or items.
Emilia wasn't sure if this was to discourage players from staying in this 'friendly' area for longer than they needed to or something else, but she couldn't afford the risk of not having killed the [Boar King].
